God, Government, and Gospel | Acts 24

Aug 3, 2025    Brandon Mathis

In our exploration of Acts 24, we encounter a powerful lesson on confronting corrupt leadership and standing firm in our faith. The story of Paul before Governor Felix reminds us that even in the face of unjust authority, we are called to speak truth with courage. This passage challenges us to recognize God's sovereignty in all circumstances, even when human institutions fail us. As we reflect on Paul's unwavering commitment to the gospel, we're encouraged to examine our own response to corruption and injustice. Are we, like Paul, willing to proclaim Christ boldly, regardless of the consequences? This message urges us to pray for our leaders, resist evil when necessary, and always prioritize obedience to God over human authority. It's a timely reminder that our ultimate allegiance is to the King of Kings, and that true justice will prevail in God's perfect timing.
